The Ministry of Health (MoH) has explained that the Ghana government was unable to obtain direct supplies from Russia for the supply of Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccines hence the use of middlemen who offered to sell the vaccine at US$19 per dose instead of the US$10 at ex-factory price.
The Chief Director at the MoH, Mr Kwaku Boadu Oku-Afari gave the explanation in a press statement issued on Wednesday night, June 9, 2021.
Responding to a media publication regarding overpriced purchase of Sputnik V vaccines, the MoH said the move was against the background of non-response from direct channels and global shortages of the vaccine.
